As part of Devry's “Advisory Board” I was invited to hear presentations of the senior projects. Much of the coursework revolves around .NET and C# although they do teach other things and one of the projects does not use .NET.

The university and students find companies to sponsor the projects and most of them will actually be in production at these companies. The biggest team was 3 people and it was done part time over a couple of months so the scope of each project is reasonably small.

I do appreciate DeVry as they host our Miramar user group meetings every month!

A good history of the computer museum starting in Gordon's closet, through the DEC lobby in Marlboro into Boston then out to Silicon Valley.

At one point Gordon mentions Encore (it was actually the "Hydra" division in particular) and how the project was out of control. He drove to New Hampshire to buy a Macintosh and Project and spent the weekend entering into project which ended up as a wall sized pert chart (which I remember). Up to that point we had been using Xerox Star systems for documentation.
